Abstract

Aım: To evaluate patients’ satisfaction and visibility of the scar after external dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR). Materials and Method: Two hundred fifty external DCRs were performed in 224 patients in Ministry of Health Ankara Training and Investigation Hospital from January 2004 to May 2006. For this study, standardized questionnaire was composed so as to address it to the patients. Phone call was used as the survey method and patients were asked by phone to assess the visibility and significance of the scar for them on a scale of 1 (least) to 4 (greatest). Results: The average age of patients was 45.7 years. There were 82% female and 18% male. One hundred seventy one of 250 scars (68.4%) were rated 1.44 scars (17.6%) were rated 2.26 scars (10.4%) were rated 3 and 9 scars (3.6%) were rated 4 on a scale of 1 to 4. Even if females were less satisfied than males in terms of scarring, this difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). No significant difference was found between different age groups in terms of the cosmetic importance of scar and patient satisfaction (p>0.05). Conclusions: The harmony of patients was profoundly well and excellent response rates were obtained from the questionnaire. Only 3.6% of cases had severe scar. This proves that with the EDCR, satisfactory results were obtained and almost all patients evaluated the results of surgery as remarkably high and the procedures were evaluated as effective. In the lights of results mentioned above, it can be stated that scarring should not be considered as the main determinant for deciding DCR surgery as all of the patients preferred to undergo the EDCR operation without taking into account of scarring.

Özet

Amaç: Eksternal dakriyosistorinostomi (EDSR) ameliyatları sonrası gelişen skar dokusunun görünürlüğünün ve hasta memnuniyetinin değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2004-Mayıs 2006 yılları arasında Sağlık Bakanlığı Ankara Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde 224 hastada yapılan 250 eksternal DSR ameliyatı retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bu çalışma için hastalara yöneltilmek üzere standardize edilmiş anket oluşturuldu. Telefonla iletişim, anket yöntemi olarak kullanılmış olup, hastalardan gelişen skar dokusunun görünürlüğünü 1 (en az)-4 (en çok) arasında değerlendirmeleri istendi. Bulgular: Ortalama hasta yaşı 45,7 yıl idi. Hastaların %82’si kadın, %18’i erkek idi. İki yüz elli gözün 171’inde (%68,4) skar evre 1,44’ünde (%17,6) evre 2,26’sında (%10,4) evre 3 ve 9’unda (%3,6) evre 4 olarak değerlendirildi. Kadınlarda memnuniyet erkeklere göre daha az olmasına rağmen, fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p>0,05). Skarın kozmetik önemi ve hasta memnuniyeti açısından yaş grupları arasında fark yoktu (p>0,05). Sonuçlar: Hastaların ankete uyumu son derece iyi idi ve anketten mükemmel düzeyde sonuç elde edildi. Vakaların sadece %3,6’sında ciddi cilt skarı oluştu. Eksternal DSR yapılmış hastalarda memnuniyet oldukça yüksek idi ve EDSR metodu etkin bir teknik olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların tümü skara rağmen EDSR ameliyatını olacaklarını bildirdiler. Bu sonuçlar ışığında, cilt skarının EDSR’ye karar vermede dikkate alınması gereken önemli bir husus olmadığı sonucuna varıldı.
